Blow My Trumpet

Well, actually, without wanting to blow my own trumpet, I just wanted to let you guys know that I am now officially a Westlawn graduate.
Yep, 5 years, 11 months and 18 days is all it took for me to whip thru the course! Built two houses, two kids and a bunch of other stuff along the way.

What I really want to say though, is a VERY BIG thanks to all of you guys. I could have got here without you, but you sure as hell made it a whole lot easier.

So, there you have it. I now consider myself qualified to learn....

You got through school in half the time I did.

2 years = AS (Associates)

9 years = BS (should of took 4 years, but worked full time)

2 years = MS (Masters)

Total = 13 years

I paid for it all myself with a little help from the government at times.

It's all smooth sailing now.................NOT. Hang in there and congrats.

WHAT!!!! It seems like just the other day when you started down this road. Well maybe not to you. ;-) I don’t have a smiley face big enough for this. Congratulations Will!

Of my 1876 posts, 1800 of them were asking you guys for help!
I really mean it when I say I wanted to thank everyone. This is an extraordinarily valuable resource - onya Jeff!

Gary - nope....seems like a lifetime ago to me!

Mike - Gotta figure out how to pay for that dream now...

Thanks again everyone - I honestly didn't put this here to get a pat on the back from you all (nice though it is ) - just to let you know that all your efforts weren't (entirely) in vain....
